Fruit Juices.

Has enough been said in this season Of
wholesome, refreshing drinks from the
juices of the fruit? The processes are so
exceedingly simple, and the results so
grateful, especially at this melting season
of the year, that it would seem as import
ant a part of the household management
as the preservation of fruits for the table.
| give the following well-tcsted recipes:
RASPBERRY VINEGAR.-To four quarts
of fruit, well mashed, add one quart Of ci-
der vinegar. Let it stand in a cool place
for three or four days. Strain it, and to
every pint Of juice add a pound of sugar.
Boil twelve minutes, skim thoroughly, and
bottle when cool. A spoonful or two of
this in a glass of water makes a most re-
freshing drink. Blackberries and straw
berries may be used in the same way, but
the red raspberry is the most delicious.
The juice of other fruits can be used by
extracting it the same way as for jelly, and,
while boiling hot, pouring it into jars or
bottles, closing and sealing in the same
manner as the canned fruits arc preserved.
Such wholesome drinks as these the HUI
man system naturally Graves, and we who
are laboring for 'home protection, " should
make these, as contributing to home at
fractions. AT the same time, it is a deeply
settled conviction on my part, that when
we prohibit that which is in every way
baneful, we must be ready to supply some
thing in every way excellent, wholesome

The celebrated DR.. Richardson, Of Lon
don, and others have showed the injurious
effects Of alcohol on the human body so
clearly that one would think no educated
person could use it without knowing that
he was doing himself harm. The injury
done to the heart i'll compelling it to do n
very large amount of unnecessary work,
and the injury done to the brain in burn
ing up its tissues ought to be sufficient
reasons to prevent anyone allowing the
stuff to pass his lips. But it is said that
alcohol is good as a medicine and particu-
larly useful as a tonic, and that persons
who are troubled with dyspepsia cannot
get along without it. On this subject We
find the following remarks IN q work on
the human body and its ailments, called,
"Evcrybody's Own Physician" by Dr..
C. w. Gleason, of Philadelphia, who has
written several medical books;
"The gastric juice, which digests our
food, is composed of water, holding in
solution pepsln, chlorohydrie and lastic
acids. 1t is often called the rennet and
when. obtained from the cali OF pig, is
used to coagulate milk and for the manu-
facture of cheese, etc. When this fluid
has been obtained from the calf's stomach,
it is found to possess the most wonderful
solvent powers. Bread, meat, vegetables
and fruit are quickly dissolved and digested
by its action outside of the body. Now,
when the human stomach has been abused
and is worn out by ~long-continued use Of
indigestible and unwholesome food and
drink, and has become irritated and in
famed or liberated, rest and sufficient
time for recovery may often be secured by
the use of small quantities OF the most
simple, nourishing, II easily dlgested
food. and the use of a little pcpsin, pre-
pared from the calf's stomach to digest it.
1t should be of good quality and prepared
with great care, and without the use Of
wine or alcohol. 1t is a curious and in
structive fact, worthy of the attention OF
dram-drinkers, that alcohol ~noagulates
pepsin, or the active principle of the gas
trio juice, and renders it comparatively
inert. All alcoholic beverages, or whisky
bitters, taken with our food to aid di9es-
ton, only increase the disease. All dram
drinkers soon become dyspeptics, and
finally confirmed invalids.
hllAlIS hlIoh w &ADoiA4tH ~ -
valids, such as milk-punch and egg-nog,
is simply an absurdity, Whisky coagu-
lates and hardens the %albumen, rendering
it as tough as leather and exceedingly in
dIgestible. In fact, it is only a useless
waste of time, and throwing away valu-
able medicine, to try to cure indigestion in
those who use alcoholic beverages"
According to this authority, then, alco-
hol, so far from being a tonic or aid to di-
g%estion, destroys the means of digestion
which Nature has provided. That is why
those who use much strong drink lose in
time the appetite for simple food. The
reason that this result is long postponed
in some cases, is that the body, when in
good health, is endowed by Nature with
a wonderful power of throwing off all hurt
full substances which may be introduced
through the stomach.

In a letter from Erieville, n. V, to the
Pioneer, G. I. Hitchcock says: Some years
ago there was a distillery on the farm join
ing my fathers. There were Il number of
men who used to patronize it and carry
away in jugs, and, very often, in their
stomachs, the article distilled. Among the
number were two that l remember very
well, as they frequently came and worked
for father on the farm. Last April I was
reminded Of those men, as the great grand
son of Que and the grandson of the other
came TO me to get work. They were poor
ly clad, and their boots but little better
than none.
could not think Of sending them out in
the snow with such boots and furnished
them with some, expecting they would be
honest enough to work and pay for them.
But was disappointed. They both SEEM
ed devoid of any moral principle, and
neither of them could read or write.
Is it not probable that the influence OK
erted on those men by the use Of liquor
made at the old distillery is still shown in
the lives and conduct OF these young men ?
l have pondered over it, and thought
much about the man who owned and ran
the old still. The last time I remember
seeing him he stood on the south side Of
his barn, with head dropped, and seemed
very thoughtful. \ friend of his had
shot himself a short time before, and |
have often thought that he was in q deep
study about his future prospects, and per-
haps had forebodings of the influence he
had cxcrted on those who had p|atronizcd
his distillery.
Is there not too limited a view taken of
intemperauce9 Can it be otherwise than
that the distiller, brewer, wholesale and
retail dealer in intoxicating liquors, after
they pass away from this state of cxistence.
will know and realize the influence that
their business has exerted and is still exert
ing on those who have dealt with them?
The suffering and priyation endured by
persons intimately connected with those
who lIabitually use Intoxicating liquor is
enough to cause the least thoughtful to
wish the whole business annihilatcd, and
when we carefully investigate the subject
and see the effects OF it, not only on those
who use, but on generations yet to follow,
are we not, most of us, too indifferent and
too slack in our efforts to endeavor to con-
vince those who are engaged in the manu-
facture and sale of it, that their own best
interests in this life and the life to come

powSerIy On Tnteu,peranee


The following strong words are taken
from an interview with Terence V, Pow
derby published in the New York Herald:
SHOULD | leave the office of Master
Workman to-day I would devote myself to
literary work in the interest Of at least two
great questions in the Decentralization
and temperance. l would require every
man, woman and child to learn to read,
write and cipher. That so many working
people do not understand even these three
rudimentary branches of learning is a
shame aad a disgrace. But there is 40 dis
grace deeper and more marked than the
disgrace that hoveTs around the drunkard.
They impose upon us in the Order. They
bring on trouble between employers and
honest workingmen. They go to work
drunk, are discharged, and SOLDERING UP,
they appear before their assemblies and
present their grievances, But one side is
heard, and the complainant seems to be 8
much-abused man. Are we justified i'll
keeping such impostors with us? Can WI
excuse men who w~ilfuliy neglect their
duty as employees and as wilfully delude
their brother workmcn? Yet | myself am
called upon frequently to take a hand in
the settlement Of labor troubles attribut-
able TO this cause. Recently I had occa-
sion to interfere in a dispute Of large pro-
portions, wherein the hands sought to sus-
tain one of their number who had been
discharged. He had represented himself
as a badly-treatcd man, and had so worked
upon the feelings of his fellows that they
supported him at a sacrifice of work and
pay. What did he do to cause a discharge?
lie went to the work shop drunk. He hung
his hat up in a strange place, and it fell
down into Il tub of valuable liquid, spoil
ing it. Was that a good case to make a
fight on? Think not"
While Mr.. Powderly was speaking a
drunken man tottered down on the other
side of the street and passed by the door of
a house in which a small watch dog sat
upright. "Look," said lie, "there is a
good case in point. A strong, ~able-bodied

with brute instincts. Which is the more
valuable at this time? l say the dog.
Lacking human intelligence, yet he sits
there guarding the house. He is watch
ful of his own safety and Of the safety OF
much valuable property. He is alert and
ready to protect both. The man is not
only bereft of his senses, but he could not
watch anything; he could not even protect
himself ii lie tried. His intellectual or
physical attachments would not at this
time avail him anything against tine dog.
"As have said before, the rum habit is
of our greatest enemies, and until we
get it under control we will nave an uphill
struggle TO sustain our principles. l deny
that am an autocrat, but in one thing I
wish to be. If my word should be law
there would be no more Incompetence, and
with no intemperance there would soon be
fewer labor troubles

An excursion train for Niagara Falls, on
the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad,
composed of six sleeping cars, six day
coaches and chair cars, three baggage cars
and two engines, dropped through a burn
ing bridge over 4 dry run about three
miles east of Chatsworth, Illinois, early on
Thursday morning of last week, while run
ming at the rate of a mile a minute. There
were nine hundred and sixty passengers on
board from various points in Central ILL
nois, the majority of them, however, from
Peoria. The total number of dead is SO;
the wounded 329.
The Georgia Legislature passed a bill
lately placing a tax of $40, 900 upon every
dealer in domestic wines and other intoxi-
cants, who deals therein to the exclusion
of foreign wines, alcoholic and malt Ii
quors. The necessity for the bill arose
from the fact that the law under which 11S
of the 1877 counties in Georgia became
{ dry" permits the sale of domestic wines.
Under this law the State has been filled
with wine rooms, which sold the vilest
compounds of wine and whisky.

Commenting on the case of George Alb
bolt, the milk dealer who was fined recent
iy for delivering skim milk in an nnmark-
ed can, the South dersegman says:
st will be seen therefore that in New Jer-
sey II MAJ may be fined if his agent in his
absence, withouthis knowledge and against
his commands, on an order given for skim
med milk, dips it out of a can marked
SKINNED Milk" put into a receptacle
no SO marked for delivery to the customer.
Such constructions bring the law into dis
repute, and the lawmakers into contempt"
All things have their compensations and
if the law in the case of skinned milk
appears to bear a little hard, as the Jersey
mlan thinks, it makes up for it by leniency
where rum is the foundation of the legal
proceeding. We have witnessed trial after
trial of u-nsellers indicted or whose licen-
scs were opposed for selling liquor to mi
but it appearing That the selling was done
by the barkeeper, and the proprietor swear
ing that he always gave his bartenders
orders not to sell to minors the prosecu-
ton Sob NoFSted. NUN ~ rum anu
SKINNED milk is-"skimmed milk"
There is an old legal maxim qui fact per
alum, Jac1 per sc, which being literally con-
strued means that what your agent or SER
yant does for you in the course of his en-
ploymcnt is the same as if it were done by
yourself, but while it seems to apply in
the case Of skinned milk it don't apply in
the case of rum. Why this should be so
may not be perfectly clear to the nnsophis-
ticated mind, and to explain it would be
outside Of the purpose of this article, which
is merely to state the fact, but the fact is
there all the same.
